STOCKTON - The University of the Pacific's Stockton campus was placed on lockdown about 11:45 p.m. Friday after a vehicle overturned on Pacific Avenue near Presidents Drive and the driver fled the scene, school officials said.

A passenger in the car told police the driver was armed with a handgun, the school said. Officers also determined that the driver matched the description of a person of interest in an earlier armed robbery, university officials said.

Pacific alerted students, staff and faculty via email, text and phone messages while police searched the campus, the school said.

University staff patrolled residence halls and sent messages updating students on the status of the lockdown, school officials said. The lockdown was lifted at 1 a.m. Saturday after police concluded an extensive search of the area, the school said.

STOCKTON - Authorities had little information to work with after a 28-year-old man was shot several times in the 600 block of East Oak Street shortly after 8:15 p.m. Friday night.

The victim told police he was walking in the hallway of his apartment complex when he was approached by another man. The man pointed a gun at the victim and fired a number of shots, striking the victim several times, police said.

The victim was taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, authorities said. The victim said he could not describe the shooter, police said.
